Twitch is testing a new way to discover new channels that reminds me of the good old days of channel surfing on my TV. The experiment, which it calls the Channel Switcher, lets you easily flip through previews of a bunch of different streams to help you find something to watch. And perhaps best of all, you won\u2019t see ads while using it.<\/p>\n

You can get an idea of how it works in this tweet from Twitch<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Right now on Twitch, if you don\u2019t already know what you want to watch, it can be difficult to find something new that you might actually want to tune into. Personally, my rundown is to check the homepage, scan the sidebar of people I follow, click into an individual game or category to browse who is live, or navigate directly to a streamer\u2019s account.<\/p>\n

But, if I want to move on from a stream I\u2019m already watching, my best options are to click another followed account or recommendation on the sidebar or back out to Twitch\u2019s Browse section. That latter option isn\u2019t my favorite, as I often run into choice paralysis.<\/p>\n
